What would a MIDI recorder/player in GO be used for?
The standard MIDI message seem not to be very suiteable for GO.
For the worst case, GO could have 20 manuals to record (this is arbitray limit which could even be raised in the future). MIDI just features 16 channels.
A ODF can include hundreds of coupler/stops/.. and there is no standard for mapping to eg. Bx/Cx Program/Control Change messages
HW seems to include custom sysex messages for stop changes.
It looks like, it would require GO to use lots of sysex messages, which would not turn it into a standard MIDI format, but something private.
Why then missuse MIDI and instead create a GO recording format?
